Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Miffy's Counting Book
Dick Bruna · 1999
74/100
👍 Worth It
Dick Bruna's bold, clean design is as well-suited to tiny hands and eyes as it was when Miffy first appeared, and the tabbed format that lets toddlers flip straight to any number is a genuinely clever touch. This is a reliable, visually distinctive counting book from one of the great names in early childhood illustration. It's simple by design, but for a one-to-four-year-old learning numbers, simple done this well is exactly right.
